Improved LOS

LOS is "Line of Sight".
It describes what the person selected can actually see if you drew a line from their eyes to the object.

Areas in shaded areas are places the person can not see behind.
You can still hear sounds and even fire into those areas indirectly, but since you can directly see in these areas because of trees, terrain or buildings, your chances of having an accurate hit are lowered.

This mod simply improves tactics by making areas of out line of sight red and makes it more user friendly to see.

The first 3 images show clearly where you can have line of sight.

The last image shows default in-game LOS which makes it harder to see because it clashes with interface and is also harder to see structures or items as well with the all white.

Does not modify any other game play aspects.

Unsure if this works online or not.
It does not give the user any tactical advantage.

Does not require any DLC or mods.


I have uploaded several other color versions of this mod.
Just search for Improved LOS in the workshop and the other versions should show up.
You can be subscribed to all of them, but in the in-game mod menu, make sure only ONE is active.



Unfortunately, any mod that uses:
UIInGameLineOfSightResource.ndf
Found in: Steel Division\Mods\EXAMPLE\GameData\UserInterface\Use\InGame
will be incompatible with my LOS mods.

Check with mod authors to see if they modify that file.
